Notes

Text: "Wednesday night. My Sweetheart - No letter Monday and no letter Tuesday - you can imagine how glad I was to get one today but can you also imagine how disappointed I was at not getting any for two days? I surely did miss them. So you had a date with George? Well, I guess I am jealous. But maybe I'd rather trust you with him, or should I say him with you, and some of those other students I know! No I'd trust you will any of 'em, but you know what I mean. I would like to have seen the may fest, and Rosalie's show very much. We managed to take long enough off this afternoon for a short swim, and it surely does make you feel good. Sweetheart, it's nearly train time, as I'll have to take this train. I love you, I love you - and can hardly wait to see you, these wonderful nights are about to get me down! Kiss me real long and real sweet. Your very own, Felix."
